“I was really amazed at the reaction from some of the old die-hards who seemed to take on a whole new attitude. Many staff have told me that they consider the session the best P.D. they’ve ever had. It was huge. Thanks a million.”
Governor Stirling Senior High School

“Just wanted to pass on our appreciation for the superb performance by Andrew Horabin as “Mick” … All the feedback we’ve received has been enthusiastically positive, with most unable to believe it wasn’t an inside job, due to the fabulous amount of work that Andrew put into the research.”
Australasian College of Emergency Medicine

“I don’t think I’ve heard many guest speakers that have actually had an impact on my life and you sure as hell have!”
Student, Lockridge Senior High School

“Thank you for the incredible job you did as Master of Ceremonies. Indeed according to the Evaluation Forms you were the highlight of the conference! What none of the delegates would have noticed was the behind the scenes work, your relaxed way of taking on all of the announcements, keeping the overall program running to time and ensuring that we moved over 450 through the short breaks efficiently. It certainly is a skill. Unlike the rest of us, you stayed calm and helped us to relax knowing that we were in good hands. From the delegates’ point of view, they enjoyed your style and humour. Who else could get through all those house-keeping notices and still keep everyone’s attention? In fact, they looked forward to them! I hope that I will be able to work with you again.”
State NRM Conference, Denmark 2005

“I can unreservedly say that you were the hit of the camp … We very much appreciated your friendliness and undoubted talent in shaping your presentations to our needs and at the same time transmitting some great home truths about real life.”
St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls

“I just wanted to send a brief note of thanks for your performance on Friday night. As you can appreciate, it can sometimes be a bit of a gamble using someone like Mick when you have such a varied audience – but you managed to pull it off in spectacular fashion (even our Chairman was impressed!). The extent of your background homework was impressive and certainly came through in your performance and I know that it was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present. Thank you once again, and I look forward to the next time I’m fortunate to witness a genius at work.”
St. Andrew’s Insurance

“A great hit. Everyone is still talking about it. Just what we needed after those frigging boring and never ending speeches. Thanks a heap.”

“The feedback on the conference has been that it was our ‘best ever’ and we truly believe that your input was responsible for us achieving this … Suppliers, agents and staff have all said ‘Where did he come from?’”
Travellers Choice, National Conference, Queensland

“Mick managed to have the entire audience rolling in the aisles … I was extremely impressed with how you managed to weave the snippets of factual information I gave you into such an entertaining and perfectly pitched presentation… by far the most enjoyable conference dinner I’ve ever been to …”
Acoustical Society of Australia (WA)

“Your energy and commitment to the project was outstanding and made a huge contribution to the success of the event … Your material was terrific and certainly demonstrated a great deal of thought, originality and creativity … further enhanced by the actual delivery which was extremely professional and entertaining … You are a very talented man and it was a real pleasure to work with you …”

Centenary Committee, Town of Bassendean

“Everything went like a dream. The positive energy flowing through the staff is staggering. I am receiving reports and feedback on issues without asking. I read my hand out on the plane and learnt from that too. I personally hope that this is the first of many.”
DriveAway Holidays

“Andrew, you were a sensational ‘hit’. The staff were very impressed with you memorising their names, which personalised it for them. Also the ‘game’ was a great team building ‘eye opener’ thank you! To sum it up – THANK YOU for a job well done!”

“Feedback is that it was our best conference yet and that is due in no small measure to you … memory lane trick with the roll call was mind-blowing …”
DEST WA State Conference

“Andrew was briefed at the very last moment due to our own issues. His spontaneity and ability to entertain the audience was excellent. A couple of his musical routines had them weeping in the aisles with laughter.”
Yamaha Music Australia

“Thanks Andrew. The day would not have been a success without you”.
Injury Control Council of WA

“I’ve never seen a session go so quickly – top presenter with some original techniques and the ability to connect with everyone in the room, while never diverting from the theme of education …”

“Fantastic – best presentation I have seen on this material. Very relevant. Wish we could roll his presentation out to the entire group to align everyone with the same knowledge. And as a complete bonus, it was very entertaining …”

“Excellent. probably the best presentation I’ve seen. I have taken a lot away that I can use.”
Participants’ feedback, McPherson Media Group

PLEASE NOTE: Andrew is now accepting limited engagements as he became a Dad for the first time in September.

“If our audience did not know better they would have thought Andrew was a part of our team in terms of the knowledge and information he displayed about our company. He interwove the information provided to him brilliantly and never missed a beat. His performance was outstanding and talked about all that night and certainly added much valued fun to our meeting the next day.”
Crop Care

“Thank you thank you thank you for helping to make our night great on Friday. I can’t begin to tell you how much positive feedback I had nor the amount of people who want your contact for future events they are arranging around our region and nationally. You hit the mark perfectly with everyone there. They loved the local elements you added as well as your play on all the buzz terms – most said they just laughed the whole time you were up there.”
Grampians Pyrenees Regional Development Board

“Many of the attendees said that the session should have been longer as they were enjoying it so much! The best comment I can make was that everyone said: What a great presentation! What made it for us was the fact that he had done some research and knew so much about our industry and some of the people in attendance. Great work!!”
